"Alternative Engineering": A Postmodern Parable
Stephen Novella, M.D.
Note: The people named in this story are fictitious,
but the dangers of applied pseudoscience are real.
but the dangers of applied pseudoscience are real.
A new phenomenon is sweeping the country, gaining the attention of both consumers and manufacturers alike. Increasingly disenchanted with the cold metallic world of modern technology, people are looking closely at more natural alternatives. Collectively called Alternative Engineering ("Alt Eng"), a host of new and old methods are gaining scientific and journalistic respectability.
Alec Waterstone is one such self-styled alternative engineer. He has no degree or formal training in engineering, which, he explains, is an advantage: "My thinking is not limited by mathematics, logic, or any stodgy old mechanistic paradigm. I do not have to pay homage to the likes of Newton or other Western male pedagogues. My complete lack of training frees me to consider unique and innovative solutions to engineering problems, unfettered by the annoying constraints of "reality."
Energy-Based Bridges
Alec's latest project is a design for a 1200-foot non-suspension bridge. He claims the bridge will be able to span this distance without pylons or overhead suspension, and will be supported only by the ancient art of Feng Shui. "This wisdom, which is thousands of years old, is the art of channeling energy through design and form. This energy can be used to support a 1200-foot bridge, or even larger structures." City planners are intrigued by these designs, because such bridges will cost less than half as much as conventionally designed bridges.
Alec is also quick to point out that ancient Chinese documents reveal absolutely no accounts of collapsing suspension bridges. His technique's safety record is, he argues, unparalleled. "How else would it have survived all these years if it didn't work?
Anthony Trellis, a professor of engineering at State-of-the Art University, claims that Alec's designs run contrary to basic principles of physics and materials science. An exasperated Trellis commented, "A bridge based upon Waterstone's designs simply could not stand. It would be unsafe in the extreme."
But Alec is not perturbed by such criticism. "Of course professor Trellis does not like my designs, because they challenge his precious status quo and turn his world upside-down. But the protectionism of the old guard is starting to crumble, like one of their obsolete buildings," he retorted at a recent symposium for progressive thinkers who agreed that those who fail to jump on the bandwagon will be left behind. His talk to a standing-room-only crowd also accused the American Society of Civil Engineers, the steel industry, and other "vested interests" of trying to suppress his views.
Skeptics have suggested that before we spend millions of taxpayer dollars on such projects, and subject American motorists to the unknown risks of driving over a Waterstone bridge, Waterstone's basic principles should at least be tested to see whether they work. This is especially true since his designs seem to run contrary to conventional wisdom. But Waterstone responds:
I"m too busy designing bridges to jump through some skeptic's hoops. They will never be satisfied, anyway. The American motorists should be free to decide for themselves if they wish to drive over one of my bridges. I respect their intelligence and ability to make smart decisions for themselves. They don't need to be told by some bureaucrat, or professor in an ivory tower, which bridges are safe and which are not.
Professor Trellis and other naysayers argue that individuals should not have to be scientists or engineers in order to drive safely over our bridges. Regulations are not designed to limit freedom, but to provide a basic level of safety and protection for the public. This attitude, however, is increasingly being dismissed as overly paternalistic and protective.
Intuitive Cars
Civil engineers are not the only ones gravitating toward the ancient wisdom of pre-technological societies. The auto industry is also catching on. Natural Designs is a new car company based in Kansas. Its president and CEO, Andy Wily, received a degree in engineering from Harvard 20 years ago, but was fired from his subsequent teaching position after excessive drug use nearly destroyed his life. Now he has returned with a new company and a new philosophy that many consumers find appealing.
"I am advocating a mixture of the best of modern scientific engineering with the antiscientific and superstitious ideas of earlier times," explains Wily. "I call this approach Integrative Engineering."
What has this new approach created? Natural Design's newest model sedan, the Millennium 2000, does not use air bags, or even seatbelts. "Seat belts are dangerous, and air bags are kid-killers," complains Wily. So he has come up with something better. The interior of the Millennium 2000 is coated with a patented psychoactive material, called Natural Safe. "All a driver or passenger has to do is think safe thoughts, and this miraculous material will do the rest. In a crash, the material will gently repel any safe thinking person in the vehicle, leaving them free from injury," Wily asserts.
When skeptics point to deaths or disability for Millennium 2000 passengers, Wily replies that the passengers clearly weren't thinking as "safely" as they should have been. "Besides," he adds, "the Millennium 2000 only goes 50 miles per hour on a good day with a happy wind behind it. If the motorists who were killed had been driving something developed by the International Automaker's Cartel like a Ford or Chevy, they'd have been traveling much faster with an even greater chance of death. When Ford quits murdering thousands of people a year on our highways, then their complaints about us will look like something besides protecting market share. In fact, we have a study right here that shows that if everyone quit driving tomorrow, the death rate would go down in America! Until we can convince the American people of the millions killed needlessly by modern 'automotive science', Natural Safe remains the safest choice."
Many consumers are convinced. Not to be outdone, GM and Ford both have started putting Natural Safe coatings in their cars. Amy Zinger, of Arkansas, survived a 40 mph head-on collision in one such vehicle. "I was wearing my seat belt, and the air bag did deploy, but I know it was the Natural Safe that saved my life," she asserted recently. "Besides," she points out, "If it didn't work, they wouldn't be allowed to sell it." Motivated by such testimonials, more and more consumers are insisting on only buying cars treated with Natural Safe.
One problem faced by Natural Designs, however, is that outdated safety regulations, such as those requiring seatbelts, do not account for these new integrative designs. Recently, however, this has all changed. Senator Hackem, from Natural Design's home state of Iowa, has pushed through legislation that will exempt manufacturers that use Alternative or Integrative principles from regulations designed to protect consumers. This was hailed as a great step forward.
Still, hard-headed skeptics will not go away. "All I'm asking for is a simple crash test" exclaimed noted skeptic, Perry DeAngelis. "If the stuff really works, heck, I'll buy it." Skeptics have been increasingly calling for such tests, arguing that testing should take place before implementation, especially when human lives are at stake.
But Wily explains why such tests won't work. "Crash dummies are not people. The psychoactive material will therefore not respond to them. The fact is, these innovative designs cannot be subjected to the same testing and principles as traditional engineering. But consumers who drive our cars feel safer. How can you argue with that."
Still, DeAngelis points to recent studies which seem to indicate that drivers of Wily's cars are twice as likely to die in a crash as are drivers of conventional vehicles. But Wily merely scoffs, "What are you going to believe, numbers on a piece of paper, or people?"
Political Achievement
Despite the skeptics, Alternative Engineering seems here to stay. Wily has just been named chairman of the new Integrative Engineering Department at Zones University, where he hopes to train the next generation of engineers in his philosophy. Meanwhile, Senator Hackem has pushed through Congress a bill to create Center for Alternative Engineering. This new office will divert money being wasted on maintaining this country's infrastructure and use it to study and promote alternative principles in engineering.
Finally, in what is characterized as a landmark coup in the making, the Canadian College of Rainbow-Coloured Integrative Engineering -- after spending more than 100 years as a scientific pariah -- is finalizing negotiations to become part prestigious Dork University. Despite howls of dismay from Dork's math and science faculty and several Nobel laureates, Dork's Senate has pushed onward with its plans for affiliation. The $25 million dollars that the Integrative Engineers have promised to give the University has not, according to Dork's President, influenced the deal. The president characterized critics of Integrative Engineering as "crybabies" who espouse "long disproven misinformation" about Alternative Engineering.

text: With three rows of seats, a comfortably functional interior and pleasant looks, Toyota's 2013 Highlander is a right-sized, no-fuss vehicle for families.There's even a removable center section in the Highlander's second-row seats that simplifies the effort to get to the third row bench seat even when two child safety seats occupy the second row.This undated image made available by Toyota shows the 2013 Toyota Highlander. (AP Photo/Toyota)The Highlander also has a strong record for reliability and is a recommended buy of Consumer Reports, where predicted reliability for the 2013 model is much better than average.The smooth-riding, 2013 Highlander Hybrid is rated at a combined 28 miles per gallon in city and highway driving and ranks third best among gasoline-electric hybrid SUVs.Still, the Highlander, which is positioned between the smaller Toyota RAV4 and larger 4Runner, does not come with a bargain price.Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, is $29,865 for a base, front-wheel drive, 2013 Highlander with 187-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. The lowest starting retail price for a 2013 Highlander with 270-horsepower V-6 is $32,750. All 2013 Highlanders come with automatic transmission, and all V-6-powered Highlanders come standard with four-wheel drive.The Highlander has plenty of competitors in the mid-size, crossover SUV segment.Crossover SUVs are vehicles that have SUV styling on the outside, seat passengers higher above the pavement than they would be in a car and use an underlying structure based on cars to provide a car-like, rather than truckish, ride.The 2013 Kia Sorento, which offers four- and six-cylinder engines, has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $26,150 for a base, front-wheel drive model with 191-horsepower four cylinder, automatic transmission and third-row seating. This is $3,715 less than the base 2013 Highlander. The lowest-priced, 2013 Sorento with all-wheel drive and third-row seats starts at $27,950, and includes the four-cylinder engine.Another competing family crossover SUV is the 2013 Chevrolet Traverse, which has a starting MSRP, including destination charge, of $31,670. The base Traverse has front-wheel drive, 281-horsepower V-6 and automatic transmission. The Traverse only comes with the V-6.Now marking 12 years in North America, the Highlander continues with impressive U.S. sales of more than 100,000 annually. Indeed, during calendar 2013, the Highlander is on pace to surpass last year's U.S. sales of 121,055.Highlander's appeal to families is not just its practicality, such as a cargo area that can grow from 10.3 cubic feet behind the third row to 95.4 cubic feet with second- and third-row seats folded down.The Highlander is a no-fuss vehicle that's not too big and not too small that's easy for busy families to live with.There was nothing distracting or odd about the placement, visibility and usability of the gauges and controls inside the test Highlander, which was a base V-6 model. Most drivers will find they can get in, adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel and mirrors, and just drive. In fact, the non-gimmicky interior was a nice, easy change of pace when it was time to change temperature and radio stations in a straightforward and simple manner.This is not to say the Highlander is low tech.For 2013, every Highlander has display audio, which provides Bluetooth phone connectivity and music streaming as well as a USB port. An optional tech package can add navigation system and Toyota's Entune multimedia system for use with popular mobile applications and data services. Some features can be controlled via voice commands. Though nothing seemed complicated or distracting in the Highlander, a standard rearview camera is sorely needed to help drivers when backing up.The removable Center Stow seat in the middle of the second row was put up and taken down without consulting the owner's manual.But the two-person third row seat sits low to the floor and can feel a bit cramped.The 270-horsepower V-6 provided strong power for acceleration and got the Highlander up to above-speed-limit city travel quickly, even when the vehicle was carrying four adults and luggage. Power seemed plentiful and the 3.5-liter, double overhead cam V-6 sounded strong and confident. Torque peaked at a healthy 248 foot-pounds at 4,700 rpm.Several competitors offer a bit more V-6 horsepower and torque. Still, the slightly smaller size and lighter weight of the V-6-powered Highlander meant the engine power was more than adequate.The Highlander with V-6 has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.Fuel economy in the non-hybrid Highlanders is lower than that of the hybrid model, of course, and not particularly noteworthy.The tester with V-6 averaged just over 20 miles per gallon in combined city/highway travel, which was over the federal government's rating of 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving. With a 19.2-gallon gas tank for regular unleaded fuel, the test Highlander's range was 385 miles. The 2013 Highlander's overall federal government crash test rating is, surprisingly, four out of five stars, with frontal crash tests earning only four out of five stars.This is the same rating that the 2013 Sorento has. But the 2013 Traverse has five stars.The 2013 Highlander was the subject of two safety recalls.In one, Highlanders were recalled because a label on the vehicle did not state the correct load capacity, and regulators wanted to ensure that owners didn't overload the vehicle and risk tire failure.The other safety recall involved a few Highlanders fitted with accessories that had modified the front seats.Regulators wanted to be sure the front passenger seat's occupant sensing system still worked, so air bags for this passenger seat would deploy properly in a crash.

Malloy pardons lobster facing sentence of lunch while at restaurant on tourism campaign
STONINGTON -- A 15-pound lobster facing a sentence of lunch has received a pardon from Connecticut's governor.
The Day of New London reports Gov. Dannel P. Malloy was visiting tourist attractions in southeastern Connecticut when he issued the impromptu pardon at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough restaurant in Noank.
The governor then released the crustacean into the Mystic River.
The move came a day after a Niantic man bought a 17-pound lobster at a Waterford restaurant and released it back into Long Island Sound.
Randy Fiveash, the state's tourism director, compared the governor's action to the president's annual pardon of a turkey on Thanksgiving.
Malloy has been visiting tourist spots across the state after launching a two-year, $27 million campaign earlier this year to promote the industry.

Warren Buffett: My company won't leave the U.S.May 3, 2014: 4:18 PM ET
There was a healthy discussion about top Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries and investments at the shareholder meeting Saturday afternoon once investors returned from lunch. Here are the top five highlights.
1. Pass the ketchup, please
Warren Buffett said that Heinz was a reasonably run food company before Berkshire (BRKA) (BRKB) teamed up with 3G Capital to buy the ketchup king. He noted that Heinz had pre-tax margins of 15%.
But Buffett added that he thinks the company's profit margins will "significantly improve" under Heinz CEO Bernardo Hees and that the company will be able to rein in costs without cutting into marketing expenses.
2. Should have bought more banks
Buffett said he was very happy with how well Berkshire's top holding, Wells Fargo (WFC), has done since the market bottomed in 2009.
But in hindsight, he wished that he bought even more shares of banks that fared worse during the credit crunch. That's because many of them have rebounded even more sharply.
3. High on the HOG
Berkshire Hathaway bought $300 million in debt from motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson (HOG) back in 2009. The loan has paid out handsomely. It was done at an interest rate of 15%.
The deal is widely acknowledged as helping keep Harley afloat during the Great Recession. But Buffett said he should have bought the stock as well. Shares are up 566% since Berkshire made its investment.
4. The Geico gecko isn't going anywhere ...
There was an interesting question about whether Geico's business model would be disrupted if self-driving cars become the norm in the future. Buffett admitted that it could be a threat. But he said there was no scenario he could envision that would lead Berkshire to sell Geico.
5. ... and neither is Berkshire
One shareholder asked Buffett and Berkshire vice chairman Charlie Munger if they would ever consider moving Berkshire outside of the U.S. if it meant savings on its tax bill.
The question was tied to speculation that a key reason why drugmaker Pfizer (PFE) wants to buy rival AstraZeneca (AZN) is so that Pfizer could move its corporate headquarters to the United Kingdom and take advantage of lower taxes in AstraZeneca's home base.
Both Buffett and Munger shot down the notion of Berkshire ever leaving the United States. Each of them said they are not trying to hide from taxes ... especially since both admitted that they wouldn't have become as wealthy as they are now outside of the U.S.

A Bagram Snapshot
Bagram Airfield, 9:00pm, Dec. 3rd
After nearly one full day at Bagram Airfield, some initial impressions:
The air base at the center of the war in Afghanistan – its supply hub and the launching pad for a wide variety of missions, including the fearsome Air Force A-10 Warthogs – is one bleak landscape. Everything is beige, brown or gray, but only vaguely so. Off the narrow main thoroughfare, Disney Road, the ground is covered with crush-and-run rocks and oddments left from 11 years of war. Random chunks of asphalt. Strands of wire. Old hoses. Etc. All strewn about or leaning up against ever-present blast walls and low bunkers, and covered with …
Dust. Very fine dust. It's on everything. You can taste it. Tonight, under the streetlights, the air is thick with it. During the day, it's so thick it partially or totally obscures the …
Beautiful Hindu Kush range. Snow-capped mountains, some that rise as high as 25,000 feet. The base, in a valley, is surrounded by them.
Civilians, everywhere. There are some 30,000 people working and/or living on Bagram, a
U.S.Soviet-built base (the U.S. built one in the area years earlier, but not on this site, according to the base historian) used as the hub of the 1979-89 Soviet invasion. (One reminder is the old Soviet air control tower, now in the midst of Camp Cunningham, the center of activity for the U.S. Air Force.) Untold numbers of them are civilians who appear to be from every nation in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Far East and more. In the dining facilities, they sometimes appear to outnumber the troops.
However, one public affairs officer noted, "Not everyone who looks like a civilian is a civilian. We have a lot of Special Forces here."
But not THAT many. They could call this the International Civilian Assistance Force. – William H. McMichael

JEALOUS MUCH?: Woman's beau sends her don'ts list for girls night out
One could say this British woman's boyfriend was a tad possessive.
Zoe Scholefield of Wakefield, West Yorkshire recently wanted to attend a music festival, so she messaged the supposed love of her life about the featured bands. The woman then received a list of 12 rules her boyfriend wanted her to adhere to while attending the event.
The strict rules included sending him photos of what she's wearing, wanting a recap of everything that happens and how not to dance.
"Don't dance like a slag in reflex," he listed as one demand.
"No boys and if anyone comes up to you and talks to you, you tell them you have a boyfriend," listed another rule.
"Always send me photos of front and back of what you are wearing so I can approve and say whether or not I think you should wear it."
Some of the boyfriend's demands suspiciously had to revolve around his schedule.
"Even when I'm asleep text me to tell me things so I can see in the morning," he said. "If you find time call me or ft (FaceTime) me but let me know in advance."
In an ironic twist, apparently, the beau couldn't follow his own rules.
"Funny how my ex sent me stuff like this then has the audacity to cheat on me," Scholefield tweeted one.
"Wow, your ex sounds like the most toxic, dangerous sociopath alive," chimed another.
"Yo, your ex-man has musical taste and toxic traits," one proclaimed.

Physicians return from helping Typhoon Haiyan victims
The Palencias say medication still needed in Philippines
Dr. Liza Mary Palencia and her husband, Dr. Philip Louis Palencia, shared images they captured while helping several hundred victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
"We were so overwhelmed," said Liza Mary Palencia.
The Palencias live in the Philippines. Ten days after the typhoon hit, they went to Basey, Samar, about 10 miles outside Tacloban.
They are part of the Philippine American Medical Society, and are currently visiting family in Pittsburgh, where they met with the Brother's Brother Foundation. The group has shipped antibiotics and other medications to help in the Philippines.
"It really means lot to us -- whatever help that we can get for them," said Liza Mary Palencia.
PHOTOS: Typhoon Haiyan devastates the Philippines
The Palencias said the medication is crucial.
"We had to do a lot of surgery and we needed a lot of antibiotics, where as a lot of them are infected," said Philip Louis Palencia.
The couple said they will return to help those devastated by the typhoon, but they said a lot is still needed by the people there.
"They need water, portable water, hygiene soap, diapers, sanitary napkins, all the basic stuff," said Liza Palencia.
Brother's Brother is accepting donations to help with the shipping costs. Donations can be made at brothersbrother.org.

No matter the time of day the road ahead will stay crystal clear with the incredible LED headlights illuminating the sides of the road like never before.
The ASX's AWC (All Wheel Control) technology oversees the operation of the electronically-controlled on-demand 4WD, ABS and M-ASTC systems, providing an integrated approach to handling, traction and stability. A key component in the drivetrain is the electronic control coupling, which allows varying amounts of torque to be directed to the rear wheels depending on driving conditions and traction needs.
A push button selector allows a selection of three drivetrain mode settings:
When stopped on a slope, HSA (Hill Start Assist) automatically holds the brakes for about 2 seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal and applies the accelerator, to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards.
Lateral slippage can easily occur if the rear wheels lock up due to braking hard on slippery surfaces or braking hard when at high speeds. ABS suppresses this by controlling the brakes' hydraulic pressure. EBD adjusts the rear wheels' braking force to the number of occupants and load to deliver braking force that is ideally matched to almost any situation.
ESS (Emergency Stop signal System) reduces the possibility of rear end collisions during sudden braking by the rapid and automatic blinking of the hazard warning lamps to alert vehicles approaching from behind.
In the event of the brake and accelerator pedals being pressed at the same time, the engine ECU prevents unintended acceleration by giving priority to the braking operation.
To keep occupants in every seat safe in the event of a collision, ASX is available with a 7-airbag system to provide protection from all sides. Curtain airbags extending along both sides protect front and 2nd-row occupants in a side collision, while the 1st-row occupants are additionally protected by front and side airbags. For further safety, a driver's knee airbag helps to protect the legs in a forward collision.
If sensors located throughout the car detect unstable movement, such as lateral slippage, the Stability Control function automatically controls the brakes and engine output to stabilise the car.
If the sensors detect wheel slip when starting on slick surfaces, such as a snow-covered road, the Traction Control function automatically brakes the slipping wheel and governs engine output to enable a smoother start.

It's been a rough old week for RIM, which has had to fight back against reports that it's hanging up its coat in the consumer-room and will only service the corporate types. Now, this: a 30-something man who was "glassed" at a party to celebrate the BBM service last night in London, where Jessie J performed only minutes earlier.
According to various witness reports in The Telegraph and across Twitter, the stabbing was sparked by hundreds of guests (which included the usual scrum of tech journalists, plus competition winners and the odd token "celebrity" from The Only Way Is Essex and Made In Chelsea) running for the cloak room after Jessie J finished her performance around 11:40pm.
The Telegraph reported that a fight broke out between people competing to get their coats, with a 30-something man being "stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle." After a "huge" amount of blood, the man was carted off to hospital from London Bridge's Pulse nightclub, and was in a "serious" condition according to police, who have confirmed someone was arrested following detaining and interviewing 450 of the party's 700 guests until 1:50am.
I spoke to a RIM rep who pointed me towards the two tweets pushed out from BlackBerry's UK Twitter account, which confirmed that "a serious incident occurred involving a guest at a BlackBerry event tonight. Our first concern is the well-being of the individual concerned," and that they are "doing all that [they] can to assist the police with their enquiries and are not able to provide any further comment at this time."
It's the kind of publicity that RIM definitely doesn't need, after being linked to last year's London riots, not to mention their beleaguered CEO shake-ups. On a personal note, I'm now even more relieved I decided to sack the party off in favour of a night in front of the TV—I loathe Jessie J. [The Telegraph]

The 1st person I asked was my buddy Tonedeaf. The man knows his stuff
The big risk with splitters is the dude you split with better have working gear! Or his problems will become yours!
It could certainly be a problem to share a split with a fellow who likes to patch and unpatch his gear constantly for fun, that will create spikes in your audio as well, or if his gear has a defect that creates a similar problem. The only way to prevent that problem is with an active split (where each split has its own amplifier), and a good power supply that is tolerant of such foibles.
Quote from: Life In Rewind on March 26, 2015, 08:53:57 AMThe big risk with splitters is the dude you split with better have working gear! Or his problems will become yours!And this is the reason that I bring and use splitters for the sbd, so I don't have to be behind someone in a chain and worry about his batteries dying, bad outputs, etc. And they have the same piece of mind if I would have been first out.

When the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet empire began to collapse, decent people everywhere rejoiced. Central economic planning was widely discredited around the world. Yet the triumph of capitalism did not go undisputed. Although the market's critics acknowledged the mortal blow socialism had suffered following the collapse of the economies of Eastern Europe, they denied that the free market was the only remaining alternative. The market, they insisted, had problems of its own.
Some of these critics write as Catholics in the distributist tradition. Distributism, made popular by early twentieth-century British Catholics Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton, is a variant of corporatism, a system of political economy born in the wake of the French Revolution that sought the resurrection of various corporate bodies, such as the guilds, that the revolution had suppressed. Corporatists sought to manage economic competition, which they viewed as destructive and destabilizing, by grouping occupations into self-regulating trade associations and granting the central state a supervisory and coordinating role over business and labor.
According to distributists, the unhampered market led to radical economic inequality and the dispossession of the vast majority of the people who lacked productive property and had to rely for their sustenance on the good will of employers. Cutthroat competition destroyed small competitors and led to monopoly. These injustices might be redressed by a return to the less individualistic medieval economy, when productive property was widely distributed, guilds kept competition in check, and the poor and vulnerable were better cared for.
The arguments offered in defense of this system, while perhaps superficially plausible, turn out to be based on logical and economic fallacies, as well as on a serious misreading of European history. Distributists blame widespread indebtedness on the free market, instead of on central banks (which are creations of government) that make credit artificially cheap and thus all the more tempting – an abuse whose effects the global financial system is now suffering. The medieval economy that distributism holds up as a model bears little resemblance to that which professional historians and economists have come to understand. Neither land ownership nor ownership of the means of production was widely dispersed under the feudal system. Even urban workers outside traditional feudal bonds often did not own the means of production. Peasants labored exhausting hours and barely made ends meet even with all members of their families working. The guild system, far from being a liberating force, was actually the source of true monopoly and exploitation.
Advocates contend that distributism is a superior form of economic organization and is required by Catholic social teaching. Neither claim is true.
Distributists argue that economic concentration occurs systematically and inevitably under a capitalist system. Larger stores are alleged to win market share at the expense of smaller stores by selling below cost in order to drive out their competitors, and then recouping their losses by raising prices once the rivals have folded.
There has developed over the years considerable literature on predatory pricing as a monopolizing device, very little of which has been favorable to the theory. Economist George Stigler has gone so far as to declare, "Today it would be embarrassing to encounter this argument in professional discourse." To be sure, there is no shortage of examples of large stores offering low prices, but the windfall that is supposed to occur when they allegedly raise prices again once they have the field to themselves seems to be the stuff of myth.
A great deal of the guild mentality persists in the U.S. economy and can be seen in the behavior of such organizations as the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association. Such bodies lobby the government to institute stiff requirements to acquire a license to practice, and to place obstacles in the path of anyone else who might want to provide medical or legal services. A privileged few reap abnormally high salaries while the vast majority is made poorer by higher fees – and if anyone should attempt to give consumers an alternative to such exploitation, the guild quashes the challenge.
Although distributists promote their reforms as helping to bring economic life more into line with the vision described by Catholic social teaching, these examples throw that claim into serious doubt. The poor would be fleeced and taken advantage of at every turn, with every good and service they need artificially inflated in price. The barriers to entry erected by guild restrictions inhibit the entrepreneurial activity that is one of the most effective and dignity-enhancing avenues for the poor and marginalized to better their situation. Such barriers run contrary to the exhortations of Pope John Paul II to encourage the fuller "participation" of needy people in the economy, "to acquire expertise, to enter the circle of exchange, and to develop their skills in order to make the best use of their capacities and resources" (Centesimus Annus, no. 34).
In a true market system, no one may employ state coercion to gain an advantage at his neighbor's expense. No transaction can take place without the willing consent of both parties. The market economy thus treats human beings as ends in themselves, a moral principle on which Catholic social teaching insists.
The market economy is the remarkable engine of civilization that people are all too often taught to hate. The less heed we pay to slogans and propaganda, and the more we study the question on its merits, the more attractive does the market become. All other economic systems make fantastic promises that turn out in practice to be cruel and empty delusions. Theory and experience alike testify that the market alone can deliver an economy that is just, humane, and prosperous.
This essay is excerpted from Thomas Woods' newly published book Beyond Distributism (Acton Institute, 2008).

Matt Smaby
Draft Info
Junior CareerSmaby broke onto the hockey scene with two years of hockey at prep school powerhouse Shattuck St. Mary's as a teammate of Penguins phenom Sidney Crosby and Buffalo Sabres first round pick Drew Stafford. Smaby also played basketball with Shattuck and prior to his years there was a two sport star at Minneapolis Southwest High School. In 61 games with Shattuck he had 21 points despite playing much of his final season there in a cast with a broken wrist. Long committed to North Dakota University, Smaby opted into the 2003 Entry Draft and was taken by the Lightning early in the second round. Smaby was +20 as a freshman at North Dakota in 39 games with 1 goal and 7 points. In 44 games as a sophomore Smaby's offensive output dropped to 3 points but he came on late in the season as the Fighting Sioux advanced to the NCAA championship game before losing to Denver. Smaby returned to North Dakota this year to play his junior season and lead a young blueline as the only regular upperclassman defenseman on the team. He was named team captain for the 2005-2006 season and led the Fighting Sioux to victory in the WCHA tournament, earning All Tournament Team honors, before helping lead North Dakota to the national semifinal game of the NCAA tournament. He was also named to the WCHA's All-Academic Team and Third Team All WCHA.
Professional CareerSmaby began his rookie year of professional hockey with Springfield of the AHL where he spent most of the season on the team's second pairing. In 66 games with the Falcons, Smaby scored 2 goals and 16 points with 43 penalty minutes and a -24 rating. Smaby was recalled to Tampa late in the season but did not suit up in any regular season games for the Lightning. Smaby made the Lightning out of camp in 2007-2008 appearing in his first NHL game on October 4, 2007 against the New Jersey Devils. Unfortunately, Smaby was unable to hold onto the Lightning's sixth defenseman job and he was sent to Norfolk of the AHL after seeing just four games of action. With the Admirals, Smaby posted 1 goal and 6 points in 58 games with a -1 rating and 66 penalty minutes before being recalled to the Lightning late in the season. In the NHL, Smaby played a total of 14 games with a -6 rating and 12 penalty minutes.
Scouting Report
Smaby is big and mobile for a man his size. When on his game, he's a fierce hitter who plays a simple, effective stay at home style game. He possesses a good, but underutilized, slap shot. Has a long reach and an active stick.
Smaby isn't a natural puckmover and still needs to work at making a good first pass out of the zone. He showed some inconsistency in the physical game as an underclassman but has since settled down. He's not a poor skater, but he lacks recovery speed if he misses on a check.
Smaby is the kind of big, physical defenseman who isn't flashy but is essential to any hockey team looking to survive the rigors of NHL playoff hockey. His mobility should help him play a good amount of minutes in the pros and he will be a strong contributor on the penalty kill. He'll never make all-star teams for his offensive contributions, but the Lightning believe he could be a number four or number five defenseman with a long and successful NHL career. Think Jassen Cullimore, with a mean streak

Helmut Newton (1920–2004) was one of the most influential photographers of all time. He first achieved international fame in the 1970s while working principally for French Vogue, and became celebrated for his controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions in street or interior settings, rather than studios. His many titles and awards included Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

A month after Gov. Rick Scott floated $38 million to help the Jacksonville Port Authoity attract larger cargo ships; the Jaxport Board of Directors has set its sights on a deeper harbor.
Board members on Monday requested the federal channel be dredged from 40-feet to 47-feet, two foot deeper than the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has recommended.
"We all know that there is incredible opportunity just over the horizon for North Florida, and the ability to be the first or last port of call for the larger cargo vessels fully loaded means jobs and positive growth for the private sector in our region," Jaxport Interim CEO Roy Schleicher said in a release. "We must maximize the use of the public assets under our management and we must do so now."
The federal government would be expected to cover 75 percent of the work, but no cost estimates were immediately available. With port supporters and business groups, including the Florida Chamber of Commerce, anticipating growth in global trade from the ongoing expansion of the Panama Canal, state leaders have been pushing to bulk up the state's seaports against competition along the gulf and east coasts. In January,
Scott called for $38 million in state and local money to complete a terminal project at JaxPort, allowing the port authority to fix the navigational problems in the St. Johns River at Mile Point. Two years ago, Scott directed $77 million to make PortMiami the state's deepest port at 50 feet.

Gliki is built on the banks of Acherontas, the natural boarder of Thesprotia and Preveza prefectures, and is a quiet base for starting your trips to Soulio villages and Acherontas area.
From Gliki you can go to Souli either by car or on foot...
Leave your car in the tavern right next to the river, on the dirt road that starts from the village and ends up in the river springs. Walk through the plane tree forest up to the springs where large quantities of water well out as if they are thirsty for the sun light…
So far you do not have to wet your feet. From now on you should though walk in the water, against the current. In some points you will probably need to swim in the crystal clear waters of Acherontas. When you enter the gorge you will see one of the most beautiful sceneries in Greece.
Walk in the river until its affluent "Dala stream", where the ruined bridge is.
If you cannot stand the water or if the time of the year is not right, you can reach this place from the old Souliotes pathway Skala tis Tzavelenas which nowadays has been reconstructed.
We suggest going up the stream to its springs and the reconstructed mill. The pathway to Souli starts from here.
There, apart from the captains' houses and the several wells, you can also visit Ai Donato and Kougki. If you continue you can climb the imposing Kiafa fortress.
In Souli coffee places fast food is also offered. If you cannot compromise with fast food you should go back to Gliki.
For your return choose the old pathway from Samovina. It will take you to Skala tis Tzavelena. In the taverns of Gliki, next to the river, under the plane trees you can find anything you want.

Do you remember a while ago, that tutorial from {The Idea Room} about how to make rose kissing balls?
This year, they inspired me to do something else.
I decided my little shelf needed a little something extra. I already had this $1 frame. Painted it white, glued this cute pink paper I already had to the back of it, and started making a bunch of tissue paper rosettes.
It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be to make a heart shape using roses. They don't really stay put, so you kinda have to hot glue as you go, which is a little scary. But, after squishing a few of them into the shape I wanted and filling it in with some itty bitty rosettes, I got the look I wanted.
Happy Valentine's Day little rose heart. You make me smile every time I see you.
